Yeah, it is indeed But at the very least as the chains of fear weaken and the iron bars of negative social stigmas rust, there's a thread for them to share their burdens, and hopefull ome freedom from it, or at the very least some respite with company. I'm sure this thread will be used to great effect. Perhaps it's merely waiting like a dormant seed. It's only the first day after all...

I am but a dream--Your dream, A creature of your imagination...

We're all Faery Tales; after a fashion,Our stories unfolding around us...and through us...

In a moment you will have realized this,then you will banish me from your visions and I shall dissolve into the nothingness out of which you made me...

true. I just know that there are people here who've been trying to find a dx or have a dx but the treatment for it isn't working so it may not be correct and i wanted to give those people hope

If you tell someone you have anxiety, they tend to imagine the person wringing their hands with an over abundance of worry and/or fear. That's not me. I'll have a worry or concern, address it then move on. What does me in is sensory overload- the emotions of others, too much activity, too much noise, information, general chaos. It's too much to process.

I truthfully tell people that I lost 3 years trying to find the right medication cocktail and it was hell. But once I found what worked, it was worth it.

When I entered the psyche ward my dominant diagnosis was depression. They even prescribed me an anti-depressant.
When I did outpatient there, the therapist said I had bad untreated anxiety, which caused me depression because it made it difficult for me to cope with my every day life.
When I saw a therapist on campus he felt I struggled with PTSD from my predator of the past.

So in the end I mainly have GAD and PTSD, with depression episodes due to the anxiety at times.

I was once diagnosed as clinically depressed- I wasn't. I was in a very shitty situation and felt better once I got out of it. It appalls me that we are much quicker to diagnose and drug than we are to make the slight improvements to society which would make many people's lives so much better.

I suspect that I do have a complex or two, ( who doesn't?) but this thread is not about suspicions or self-diagnosis so I'll spare you.

" Do something, even if it's wrong."

" I don't wanna have to but I will, if that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill, but that's what I'm 'bout to do."

no this thread doesn't assume one, where the fuck did i say everyone. i'm simply refering to the people who are struggling mentally if you're not then this thread does not apply to you.
